Read the excerpt from story of my life by helen keller. my aunt made me a big doll out of towels. it was the most comical shapeless thing, this improvised doll, with no nose, mouth, ears or eyes—nothing that even the imagination of a child could convert into a face. curiously enough, the absence of eyes struck me more than all the other defects put together. i pointed this out to everybody with provoking persistency, but no one seemed equal to the task of providing the doll with eyes. a bright idea, however, shot into my mind, and the problem was solved. i tumbled off the seat and searched under it until i found my aunt's cape, which was trimmed with large beads. i pulled two beads off and indicated to her that i wanted her to sew them on my doll. she raised my hand to her eyes in a questioning way, and i nodded energetically. the beads were sewed in the right place and i could not contain myself for joy; but immediately i lost all interest in the doll. which line from the excerpt is an important detail that would be included in a summary of the excerpt?
a. it was the most comical shapeless thing
b. i tumbled off the seat and searched under it until i found my aunt's cape
c. the absence of eyes struck me more than all the other defects
d. but immediately i lost all interest in the doll.

Read the following excerpt from life on the mississippi by mark twain. no girl could withstand his charms. he "cut out" every boy in the village. when his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. but when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism. how does twain's use of understatement serve his purpose? be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
